║ CHAPTER 4 THE WAITING-FOR-CALL [WFC] SCREEN ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
VBBS uses a highly-informational WFC.COM screen. This
screen not only provides system statistics, the time, available
drive space, system status and the BBS name; it is also custom-
izable using any ANSI drawing program (such as TheDraw) that
saves screens in the .COM format.
Note that if your drive space on a given drive drops be-
low a certain percentage of its capacity, that line will change
color to let you know that you need to free up some space on
that drive.
Options available from the WFC screen include:
[F] Fast Login Local Fast login from the console (make
sure you establish the sysop ac-
count first!).
[L] Login Local Logs a user into the system from
the console (use this to estab-
lish the sysop account!).
[S] Shell to DOS Shells to DOS environment within
VBBS; type EXIT to return to the BBS.
[U] User Editor Allows editing of user information.
[V] VConfig Brings up the VCONFIG utility.
[I] System Info Displays information about your bbs.
[C] Today's Callers Lists callers since midnight.
[W] Who's Online Shows status of each COM port.
[/] Dial NET to Client Allows a forced NET callout to a
system listed in your remote con-
figuration (if any).
[N] Dial NET to Server Forces a network connect to your
server as defined in VCONFIG.
[E] E-Mail Allows you to write E-mail to both
local and network addresses from
the WFC screen.
[M] Feedback Allows you to check the sysop
mailbox from WFC.
[Scr Lock] Sysop Avail. Toggles sysop page on/off; may
also be set in VCONFIG to be
the [A] key.
[Esc] Exit BBS Quit VBBS and return to DOS.
[F1] through [F10] Calls up the functions you have
defined for function keys in
VCONFIG; if you haven't set them
up, don't worry about it yet.
╔═╗ The WFC screen is set up so that most of the sysop's rou-
╚═╝ tine chores may be handled without ever loggin on to the
BBS. This, coupled with efficient configuration of the
<F1> through <F10> keys, can be a real time-saver. It's
worth the time spent in initial setup to have access to
everything you need from WFC.
▒▒ OS/2 Version : The WFC screen commands differ
in the OS/2 version. Please
refer to Appendix D.
